Biography
 |
| Brother Gregory Williams was born in America in 1948. His father was a practicing attorney, and his mother the daughter of Norwegian immigrants. He grew up in southeast Texas attending private school. As a young man, he entered the seminary where he studied Latin, Greek, and theology. He was blessed by men who had insight into the the nature of the Kingdom of God. In the course of his studies he began to understand the unique purposes and practices of the early Church. Concealed for centuries in ancient libraries, obscured by the bias of historians, concealed by the dogmas of a coercive church, forgotten by the distractions of modern society until the simple truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God that sets the captive free became the hidden mystery of the ancients. |
